Rights Management

Manages the inventory of purchased, produced/commissioned and sub-licensed programs. Title details are entered only once, all publicity-related information is stored, and multi-lingual, electronic Interactive Program Guides and Listings can be produced automatically. This information can be used subsequently in Program Scheduling and Promotions. Using this module, broadcasters can maximize the value of their assets while ensuring that licensing terms and regulatory constraints are adhered to. Since IBMS maintains the schedule centrally, programs can be validated at the time of scheduling against the licensing rights. Titles can be monitored continuously to optimize asset utilization.

Financial and cash flow information is managed for individual channels and the organization as a whole. Both rights and production costs can be recorded and amortized by various methods, e.g. per play, over time, and the greater of the two. Financial transactions - such as payments and adjustments - can be generated against contracts, purchases and sub-licensing deals. IBMS also drives PPV, NVOD and VOD royalty calculations using subscriber data supplied by the applicable CRM system.
